“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
— Aaron Siskind
It is my graduation at age 50
There she stands with me, graying
Reminding me of her age these days
Not Me without Her!
She’s love and compassion, miracles
That happen when you’re a mom
I stand beside her, to the right
My cap sideways with a smile
That speaks of accomplishment
Not Me without Her!
Her heart seems connected to my own
Interacting through joys and tears
She hunches close to my side
Proud that I have done this thing
That she never did in her lifetime
Not Me without Her!
She races to my aide anytime, night or day,
Always prepared to love without conditions.
